To state, in addition, any circumstances which, in the opi nion of Committee, it is desirable the House should be in formed of. In addition in this, your Committee are of opinion, that the at- be tendance of ever; Member each day at. the Committee, should entered by the clerk, that the votes of each Member, upon any di vision which may tale, ,lace on the above Resolutions, or upon , the adoption of the'Repora s :•ould be entered by n ame, and tha., with the report a note of such attendance each day, and of the votes, should be given in. the attention of oft afford era the These are the securitie s for w C o mmittees. and the mea ns by hich they mayinformation lo the House, which appear most desirable ; ic but it i al obvious that of these are only steps in the procese by which the finudment the House of Commons can properly be arrived at, and that it will tecnd upon the House itself, whether they will prove sufficient for the end sought. \Tour Committee therefore most earnestly impress upon the House the ebsolute necessity of g ivin g attention to these Bills upon the cons id era tion of the Report , and of attentively consideri n g furthe . ." t h e Rcersarts which will hereafter be presented to them. To o ibis properly within the very short time which the practice d o f the Hous n at present allows for private buslneee, seems imprac ticable; and % our Committee therefore recommend to the flpese, or mare Railroad Bills shall have been reported that whenever 'Tee to it, and, accorde to the existing Standing Orders, shall be ready V for further considenetion, the following Tuesday be devoted before any public business is entered upon, to any diseteseien which may arise upon the mot;on for the further consideration of spch Reports. It remained for your Coornittee to consider whether an , and y what alteration could be ady:ntageously made in the present mode of constituting Committees upoi.: these Bills, and in the mode of reference at present adopted, when 2 7,11 s might either have the same termini, or be supposed to compete with each other. :7th regard to the first point, namely, the :npointment of Com mittees by list, adding to such list the members s ervine for the co untries through which it is prop o s ed that the railway should run, although your Committee are not indisposed to think that a better mode may be hereafter adopted, they do not recommend any c hange for the present session, bnt would propose that in the ease of ell railroads, the practice above stated should continue. The next point, namely, the propriety of referring to the same lists such resilroads as either have the same termini, or might be considered as competing lines, has occupied the most serious at tention of your' Committee. They were at first most anxious to have recommenced this course for the adoption of the House. It holds out id appeerance many advantages. By entrusting to the same body of men the examination of several projects in rivalry with each other, it is natieral to suppose that their respective merits will be better weighed, that Ouch time which would be consumed in separate Committees, by opposition offered by one party to the plan of another, there under consideration, and repeated in another Committee, to that which was there in be considered, might be saved by bringing the whole under the observation of one tribunal common to all. Upon their attempting, however, td work out the detail by which this course might be carried into execution, your Committee bave peen compelled with regret to abandon it. The different periods of time at which the various Bills for rail roads may go through their early stages, offer an insurmountable objection to making this common reference compulsory. Your Committee, h o wever, are of opinion, that if parties interested in rival Bills should consent to reter their claims to the consideration of the same Committee, the House should offer every facility to such an arrangement. But, in the absence of such an agreement, your Committee have determined to recommend to the House that these Bills, like others, should be referred to the ordinary list Committees to which they belong. At tho same time, in order to fulfil the principle which they have before laid down, namely, that the House itself should ultimately judge of the merits of each Railway Bill, which they consider it more important to do as regards this class of Bills, than in the case of those where there is no competition, your Committee would recommend that the House should not come to any decision upon the further consideration of the Report of one of these Bills, until the whole of those which may be considered as rival Bills are before it. To this they foresee no objection, except that it may put into the power of the promoters of one Bill, who are anxious only to defeat by delay the progress of a rival, to defer till very late their own Report, in order to create delay in the decision of the House upon the other. With a view to this arrangement, your Committee have examined the different Bills now before the House, and they have divided them into two classes, those which have the same termini, or may be considered as competing with each other, and those which do not fall under that description. It is to the former that they propose alone to apply this rule. The lists are subjoined, with the classification which appeared to your Committee to be proper. In conclusion, your Committee will now recapitulate s'eortly the result of their deliberation. They do not consider it expedient, with reference to the Bills now before Parliament, to recommend any alteration in the pro ceedings prior to the Second Reading ; they look to the increased responsibility of Committees, through' the regulations which they has e suggested, and the Report which they propose should be made by them to the House as a security for attention and impartiality on their ' , cart. They hope to find in the attention, which they trust will be given by the 1-I, , use itself, before the further consideration of the Report of each Bill, to this Report, a sufficient check upon the Committee and a security' that the merits of each undertaking will be impar tially canvassed ; and they entertain a confident expectation that by the alteration which they have recommended in the time at Which Reports of those Bills which compete with each other can be taken into consideration by the House, the House may be en abled, by having it brooght before them together, to come to a satisfactory decision upon tha comparative merits of each as would be attainable if it had been possible with justice to submit them to the same Committee. These suggestions, your Committee are well aware, are but im perfect, but the period at which the subject was referred to them, and the obligation which they have felt themselves under, to dis turb as little as possible the conditions upon which these private Thlls have been introduced, have obliged them to take but a partial T i ce ,- of the whole subject, and to confine their recommendation to the peculiar circumstances of the moment. If, however, it should be the pleas are of the House to continue their sittings, or to re appoint them for that purpose, your Committee would propose to investigate the s:lbject generally with a view to the future, and to endeavoar to fork a course of proceeding upon railway bills, applicable to another eession, which they trust may prove advan tageous.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ably exposed the Right Hon. Baronet's smooth sophistries on this head. Mr. SHER., too, was .equally felicitous in his reply to. Lord STANLEY, whose usual saucy petulance deepened last night into downright bilious exacerbation. His Lordship, we suspect, feels that !le is descending to his level at a quicker rate than be could lesirc—a consciousness which is ill calculated to improve the temper of a vain, aspiring man. After a long and animated debate, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. We sin cerely hope that it will ,pasS the House of Commons by a majority proportioned to its deserts ; for a better digested Bill, or one more calculated to insure good government to Ireland, was never yet brought before Parliament. In its way it is full a's important as Catholic Emancipation. Indeed, it is the natural sequel to that great remedial measure. We direct public attention to an article entitled " Dis loyal Declaration," which will be found in another column. It will be seen by this that the Irish Orangemen refuse to dissolve. At a meeting lately held in Dublin, they say that " they respect the will of the Sovereign, but the liberty of the subject still more, and will maintain." This resolution, however, was adopted, before they could have received the official declaration of the Duke of CUMBERLAND on the subject. We beg to call the particular attention of all who ar© interested in Railway projects, speculations, and con tracts, to the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons, which is given at length iu another part of The Sun of this day. The Army Estimates have been published this morning ; but they differ little from thoso of last year. It was stated some time ago, in an Irish Paper (the Southern IL.porter), that the Army was to be reduced 10,000 men, which now turns out to have been "too good to be true." By the Estimates for 1836-7, there appears to be, of all ranks, 101,039 ; being 48 men more than last year. Of this number, 19,720 are for India ; leaving 81,319 for the United Kingdom and the Colonies for effective service. In the non-effective service, there is a decrease of 2,306 men, and a saving of 38,0001. 3s. 9d., as compared with last year—whereas, on the whole, there is an increase in charge of 76,550/. ls. 10d., though there is a decrease in num bers of 2,258, leaving an increased amount to be provided for of 142,826/. 4s. sd. This appears to us rather puz zling, unless it be accounted for by the following note at the bottom ; which, upon examination, we find to be the case, but why make an alteration or transfer from one de partment to another that shall saddle the country with an amount of 142,828/. ? Here is the explanation :—" The following charges have been transferred from the extraordi naries of the Army ; viz.—provisions, forage, fuel, light, &c. &c. to the troops, 107,000/. ; to the staff, 40,000/. ; pay of military labourers, 7,500/. ; pensions of discharged negro Soldiers, 18,588; in all, 173,0881. But for this transfer there would have been a diminution of charge of 96,5361. 18s. 2d., and of amount to be provided, 30,2611. 15s. 7d. The following article, which we quote from a Hamburg paper, shows the nature of the respect" which Rulsia, Prussia, and Austria pay to the treaty of Vienna. We wonder will Lord PALMERSTON see anything in this new aggression likely to disturb the peace of Europe ? CRACOW, FEB. 18.—A corps of the troops of the three pro tecting Powers - entered the city and territory of the Republic yesterday, under the command of the Austrian General Kauf mann von Frauensteinburg, to enforce the demand of the powers made to our Republic, because, as the General says in a proclamation, " this demand has not been complied with by the Government of Cracow, notwithstanding the means gene rously offered to it." At the conclusion of this proclamation he says " Meantime the operations of the Administrations and judicial authorities of the Republic experience no interruption, of course, however, they are subordinate to the military autho rity in the measures that relate to the public safety, and the closing of the territory of the Republic." A second procla mation enjoins those individuals not natives of the Republic, who in the capacity of officers, subalterns, or privates, in the former Polish army, or who in any other manner took an active part in the late Polish revolution, to quit the territory within the term of six days, in the manner already stated, with the threat of severe punishment for them and those wl'o may harbour and conceal them, even such as have been ad mitted into the civil or military service of the Republic, or have acquired the rights of citizens. By advices from St. Petersburgh, to the 18th ult., we have learned the particulars of an accident which occurred on the 14th, by which one hundred and twenty-six lives were lost. This dreadful catastrophe arose out of the wrong suspension of a lamp in one of the theatres, by which the roof was set on fire. We subjoin the details : ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 17. —The North Bee contains a de tailed account of a dreadful accident which occurred here on Sunday, the 14th of February. This, the first day of the holidays, was a day of affliction; at four in the afternoon a fire broke in the Lchmnan's theatrical booth, from a lamp which was hung too high setting fire to a beam. In order to warn the public of the danger, the curtain was drawn up, eight wide doors were immediately thrown open, and a great part of the audience escaped unhurt ; the remainder might have done the same, but those in the pit all crowded to a narrow passage which was soon b'ocked up, those who were thrown down were trodden under foot, the roof fell in and covered the crowd with firebrands. Of above 400 persons , who were in the booth, 121 males and five females perished, in all 126 persens ; about 10 more were severely in jured, but hopes are entertained of their recovery. All possible exertions were made, and the Emperor himself arrived w►th the first detachment of firemen. The thousands of persons who crowded to the spot were kept back 1)3 the presence of the Emperor ; by an aiN ful sense of the greatness of the disaster, not the slightest disorder occurred. The bodies which seemed to have some signs of life were conveyed in sledges to the 'Ad miralty, where every attention was paid. The crowd in silence opened a broad passage for the fire-engines and the sledges, and at nightfall everything had been done that was possible on such a lamentable occasion.—Hamburg Papers, Feb. 26. • The whole of the French Journals of Sunday have been received. The Illoniteur contains the following official announcement : " Marshal Clausel reached Algiers on the 20th, after having de feated Abdel Kadcr. The Emir had with him 3,000 ➢loroquin auxiliaries, who fought with some degree of order. He had pro ceeded in person to attack the people of the desert of Angard, and had xanquished and stripped them. The Bey, Ibrahim, took pos session of the camp at Tremesen, marched towards the desert, met Abdel Kader coming back and loaded with spoil, vanquished him, and gave him chase a long time, but without being able to come up with him. Two very active and influential Lieutenants of the Emir have been killed," _ W e have no political news in these papers. It appears by ndyices from the North of Spain, that CORDGVA has either crit,oorinto a secret design to betray the QUEEN'S army into the pow or the Carlists, or that he is ignorant of the duties of a Commaudor under the peculiar circum stancas in which he is placed. We verily believe CORDOVA meditates treason, if he be not already guilty of the crime. As he is distrusted by his own Generals, the Minister of War ought instantly to remove him from the chief coin mand the army of operations. • PARIS, FEB. ..4,,,,T , TF,WA OF TSIa MORNING.—A despatch, dated London, Feb. 25, anno4nce§ that the Montreal packet had arrived at Portsmouth the day before frow 41mvrica, after a voyage of 25 dap, An express from Washington arrived at New York on the 31s t n t o a ff b e t / h / o e of January, with the iiews that the American Government had s 23 scio s r a t y ly s— to sail toumexbeerreoisfeoocluerr sat the mediation of Engimiti, All the commercial letters agree 14 considering the differences between France and the United ' States as entiwely adjusted.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. Our Parliamentary II port compels us to be brief with the periodicals this month. The present Blackwood is a good Number, were it only for its eloquent and impassioned notice of " S wan ' s S e l ect Views of the Lakes of Scotland," from whiCh we extract the following delightful passage : " Imagination, who limns in air, has none of those difficulties to contend with that always beset, and often baffle, artists in oils or waters. At a breath she can modify, alter, obliterate, or restore ; at a -breath she can colour vacuity with rainbow hues—crown the cliff with its castle—swing the drawbridge over the gulf profound—through a night of woods roll the river along on its moonlit reach—by fragmentary cinctures of mist and cloud so girdle ono mountain that it has the power of ' a hundred—giant rising above giant, far and wide, as if the mighty multitude, in magnificent. and triumphant. disorder, were indeed scaling heaven." " Paris Mornings on the Leit Banks of the Seine" is a -shrewd, discriminating piper, the production of a man of learning, of worldly tact, and who has an evident turn for the satirical. His account of Lacretelle is capital. " Wil liam Pitt" succeeds from 'sheer force of style. There is little argument in it—all is bold hypothesis ; and the passing sneers at Fox so absurd, as scarcely to deserve notice— especially as they contradict what the same writer observed a few months since of that illustrious statesman. " Extracts from the Journal of an Alpine Traveller" show considerable descriptive power. Turner might paint admirable land scapes from some of the traveller's minute and graphic sketches. " Hints to Authors" is clever, as usual, but it is too much spun out. Materienz superat opus. " Job Pippins" is interesting as a tale, but it does not workout an evident mora l so a bly as some o f it s author's previous contributions. " The Cotton Manufacture" is an elaborate, intelligent, and valuable essay. Indeed if we except the review of Swan's Lakes . of Scotland, it is the best in the Number.

HEINE BROTHERS, Contractors for the State of HAMBURG'S GREAT LOTTERIES, beg to decline further orders for the SIXTY-SEVENTH LOTTERY, as they would most probably not reach them till after the LARGEST PRIZE shall have been drawn. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this dal, at 25 minutes past Thiee o' Clock. rilj) 1 t LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1836. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland moved last night in the House of Commons the second reading of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill ; and in so doing, exposed the abuses of the existing Corporations with a clearness and force that made a profound impression on the House. The English Municipalities were bad, bukthey were purity it self compared to the Irish ones. Even the Tories ad mitted that the latter were as infamous as they could well be, and actually professed to be shocked at the enormities which Mr. Sergeant O'LOUGHLIN'S able speech exposed. And yet these are the very men under whose one-sided system of patronage, the Irish Corporations have attained their present scandalous notoriety. So long as they held the reins of Government, they could see nothing offensive in these Municipal monopolies ; but now that they are re moved from power ; now that the spirit of Reform is and it is necessary that they, for their own credit's sake, sboiZld be inoculated with the virus, they discover that the Irish Corporations are but so many unsavonry dung-heaps, whose (,;.I.onr so offends their 'nice sense of smelling, that they arc con:l:piled to hold their noses, and insist on the wholesale removal of the nuisance. Sir R. PEEL, in particular, is quite energetic on this point. lie is fur destroying all the Irish Corporations, as Mani" de stroyed the infants, and MacaeTti the children of Mac- DOFF, "at one fell swoop." His rigid sense of public duty forbids - him to permit their existence one hour longer. Sheriffs, magistrates, aldermen, freemen, burgesses, town clerks—all who are in any way, directly or indirectly mixed up with these deliequent municipalities, should, in the Right Lion. Baronet's opinion, be sxept away, and their property, influence, patronage, &c., be transferred to the Crown. And why does he propose this wholesale—this Ultra Ra dical—Reform ? Is it from his sense of what is due to public morality, and public justice ? Nothing of the olarl, for had such been his guide of action, he would have told us so long ere this ; he would have delicately hinted it in his Tamworth Manifesto ; and alluded to it more explicitly from his scat on the Treasury Bench. No, no, Sir Rocrwr is no Radical Municipal Reformer from conviction ; but because, anticipating at no distant date, his return to the Premiership, he sees in the transference of all the patron age of the Irish Corporations to the Crown, a handsome means for enereasieg his Ministerial influence, and providing for the needy of his own party. We apprehend, however , he will be disappointed in his pleasant anticipations, and most probably be compelled to rc wither in the cold shade" of opposition for years and years to come. His speech last night was, as usual, full of solemn plauslbig lities enunciated with all his wonted pomp and emphasis. He was " for equal justice," he said, and could not endure that difference of creed should render one Irishman capable. of and incapacitate another for, soling his country. Protestant and Catholic should alike be treated with impartiality. There should be no system of favouritism—no " 64441 " - ness—•nothing that bore. even the sernb4nce of prejudice or partiality. What a wholesale surrender of old opinions is here ! What a desperate throwing overboard of party feeling ! Yet we do not blame the Hon. Baronet for the facility with which he has given in to the spirit of the ago : tve only question his sagacity in not having allowed it to influence his actions long ere this. No man has had wore frequent opportunities of rendering " equal justice" to Irish men, and no man has less availed hiseself of them. First as Secretary for Ireland ; seco n dl y , as H ome li pprotary ; and thirdly, as Prime Minister, it was in his power to have promoted one and all of the Reforms which he now dis covers to be so essential to the welfare of the sister country Yet he neglected, nay worse, he set his face against them all. When he was in office, the Irish Corporations were all that they should be ; now that be is out—.and sees that FRASER'S MAGAZINE. The " Gallery of Literary Characters" ,contains this month a portrait of the Rev. W. Lisle Bowles, to which is affixed a brief memoir, by no means remarkable for any thing but puerile personality. " My Acquaintance with the late Charles Mathews" is an admirable specimen of twaddle. The writer, speaking of the great mimic watching his friend's vessel at sea, speaks of his raptures in the following style : " In the latter end of June be removed from the Victualling. yard to a lodging-house in Lockyer-street, Plymouth, where he was within a short distance from the Hoe, so remarkable for its elevated promenade and the noble prospect which it commands. To this charming spot he was several times car ried in a wheeled chair ; and he would sit watching the nu merous vessels ever sailing in all directions, more particu larly looking out for the little pleasure-boat of his friend Mr. Lyles. He had been on three or four successive occasions disappointed in not seeing it ; and thwarted curiosity was (as usual with him) becoming irksome beyond endurance, when positive articles of agreement' were entered into by the re spective parties that each, at a certain time, shsuld be in a certain express locality. Now, is that Gylly's boat?' said Mrs. Matthews to Mrs. G. Mrs. G. could not tell. Humph : well, that is odd. Here's a woman don't know her husband's boat.' He, however, espied the boat at last, and watched it with that ever-lively interest which constituted his success as a sketcher of men and manners. He did not, like common ner men, ' get accustomed' to things. His extractive power was such, that it never admitted the exhaustibility of a subject while that subject retained ' a local habitation and a name.' The tacks of G.'s boat were with him so many emblems of the shifts of men when the winds of fortune and the tides of circumstance are not directly in their favour ; and I have no doubt but that Matthews was one of those speculators who often anticipate from accidental metaphor the nature of moral operations." What nonsense is this ! Yet its author no doubt thinks it very fine and intelligible ! " Conquest of Ireland by the Anglo-Normans," contains much useful reading, collected from a variety of sources. " Sketches of Savage Life" gives some novel details respecting the Red Indians of Newfoundland, an extinct tribe, and the objects for years and years of the incessant persecution of 'the French and English settlers. " The Bride" is a pleasing dramatic poem, from the pen of Mr. Chapman. " Operative Con servative Associations" is an article replete with the most virulent Tory invective. The remaining Papers are neither better nor worse than usual. THE COURT MAGAZINE. Ed. Churton. The embellishments of this Number are a half-length portrait of the Right Hon. Lady Emily Esther Anne Hes keth, by Cochran, from a paint►ng by Mrs. Mee ; and an engravino. from Daniell's well-known picture of the " Life boat." Lady Hesketh's countenance is full of intelligence ; and as she sits looking at you she seems to read your inmost thoughts with as much ease as she would the text of a book. The Lady of my Lord," by T. H. Bayley, iS calculated to give the deepest pain to a lady of high rank, for whose ge nius we have the highest respect. The publication of such verses is, to say the very least, exceedingly unmanly. There are several very light agreeable articles in this Number. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Allen and Co. The inscription on the Temple of Horsha, Shekawati, given in one of the articles in this Number, throws a consi derable light on the Hindu system of theology. We re gret exceedingly that we cannot make room for it, in con sequence of the heavy press of Parliamentary matter ; but we recommend it to the notice of learned Orientalists. The account of the Durgahs and Mahomedan Saints of Hin dostan is a mere recapitulation of the worst superstitions of the Church of Rome. To the Catholic priesthood in ge neral we recommend the careful perusal of this article. As Miracle-mongers and Scapul ar i an d ea l ers th e y are c l ear l y behind the Brahminical priesthood. The article on the Indian Press is too general. • • THE UNITED SERVICE . JOURNAL. Co Mara. Gentlem en o f th e military profession will be delighted to find in this Number the whole of the Austrian Articles of War. They amount to forty in number, and the usual penalty for a breach of each is death by hanging or shoot ing. Corporal punishments of a lesser kind are not so much as alluded to, unless the term be presumed to in clude privations in the matter of pay, and restrictions on personal liberty. We doubt much whether the article in which the Duke of Wellington is made to appear a greater military commander than Hannibal, Julius Cmsar, and Napoleon, will not be regarded rather in the light of broad extravagance, than as the deliberate opinion of any man conversant with the personal history of these Generals. We by no means wish to detract from the well-earned military reputation of the Noble Duke ; but we do not fear to assert, that were it not for the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, the world would no more think of comparing the military genius of Wellington to that Bonaparte, than it would of comparing the glimmer of a rushlight to the fulgence of the sun at noon-day. " Leaves froM my Log-book" is a continuation of one of the most amusing yarns ,we have met with out of the pages of Marryat and ()haulier —the Turners and Westalls of ocean scenery and dialogue. THE LADY'S MAGAZINE. Dobbs, Paye, and Co. An interesting Memoir of Madame Sevignt, illustrated with a full length portrait of that celebrated Lady, from the original painting at Versailles, forms the leading attraction of this elegant periodical for the present month. She is represented holding in her hand a letter addressed to her cousin the Count de Bussy Robutin. For a description of her costume, which is as singular as can well be imagined , we must refer our readers to the periodical itself. In one thing only are wo disappointed. We had no idea that F..ho was so very beautiful as she is here represented, Of the letter-press little requires to be said, The tales are, as they ought to be, of a ligh t, elegant, and sketchy character, comparing Campbell's Letters to an 01la Podrida! Why, you might as well compare them to a dish of trifles! No, no—to those who have the misfortune never to have tasted a real Scotch haggis, we can convey no adequate idea of these letters. Campbell tells the stories of his woes so agreeably, that one is almost tempted to wish, in the peru sal of his letters, that he had been subjected to more an noyances, provided they were not too serious. For example, nothing can be finer than his description of himself sitting up for a whole night, horse-whip in hand, to keep the rats f'rom devouring his cataplasm. In a more serious part of his letters, he complains of the inhumanity of Marshal Clau se], the French Governor. " Mildred Pemberton," by Miss Landon, and " Illustra tions of Irish Pride," by Mrs. Hall; have Much of the beau ties, as well as the peculiarities, of these elegant and popu lar writers. Our chief objection to both is, that the one is always painting scenes of t,qualor, and the other delights in making the young and lovely miserable. Hovels are not the places to seek illustrations of national character ; nor is every young and lovely maiden doomed to be disappointed in love. The article on " American Liberty and Slavery" is a good one—full of very interesting matter. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZIAE. Simphin and Marshall. We only received this Magazine as we were preparing to go to p ress . Thi s mus t b e our apology for merely no ticing its appearance this month. No 11. of the Gallery of " Illustrious Irishmen" contains a biographical sketch of Henry Grattan, evidently written with much care. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.)

We have likewise ship letters from Demerara. We give the following extract of a private letter from St. Pe tersburg received this morning :—" I profit by the departure of a friend to write you, as I dare not commttnieate my politics and in formation on pain, if found out, of being sent to the desarts of Siberia, to the Mines of the Mountains of Oural. We are living here in great suspense until we receive the King of England's Speech at the opening of Parliament, when we shall be able to judge in what manner the Russian affairs will be arranged. This incertitude causes all commercial transactions of any consequence to be suspended, and should this last for any length of time, in the spring great injury will take place in our commerce. The produce of Russia comes from all the provinces of the Empire to St. Peters burg and Riga, and the warehouses will be soon encumbered with goods, without any purchasers. Money begins already to be scarce. The Russian Treasury is empty, as well as that of the G ran d Signior. Owing to this we are in hopes that peace will not be dis turbed. It is true that armaments are taking place at Cronstadt, and that all the sailors are put into requisition ; but believe me it is more of a demonstration than a serious threat."

The Number contains several very excellent ar ticles on agricultural subjects, of which one of the most important is a Paper on the Varieties of Climate and no' ductions in the Russian Empire. The climatic regions of Russia are thus divided :-1. The Region of Ice—f 2. Of Moss-3. Of Forests and Pasturage -4. Of Barley--5. Of Rye and Flax-6. Of Wheat and Fruit-7. Of Mhize and the Vine-8.
